PARIGI, Francia (Aprile 18, 2021) - Campione Europeo Super Featherweight Samir Ziani (32-3-1, 7 KO) ha gridato Tevin "American Idol" Farmer (30-5-1, 6 KO), ex Campione Mondiale Super Featherweight della Federazione Internazionale di Pugilato, per combattere June 5th per la cintura d'argento WBC in un Consiglio mondiale di boxe (WBC) eliminazione lotta. Il vincitore si posizionerebbe per una lotta per il titolo contro il campione del mondo WBC Oscar Valdez.

La battaglia dei pesi piuma super mancini sarebbe stata a giugno 5th Carta pay-per-view Triller in Florida, titolato dall'imbattuto campione mondiale dei pesi leggeri Teofimo Lopez (16-0) vs. George Kambosos, Jr. (19-0), supportato da una mostra di lotta tra il 4 volte campione del mondo dei pesi massimi Evander Holyfield e Mike Tysonconquistatore Kevin McBride.

Secondo il manager di Ziani Gary Hyde, è stato offerto l'eliminatore WBC contro Farmer e il francese ha subito accettato, mentre tutto è stato tranquillo da Farmer.

"" Ero entusiasta di combattere Farmer in un grande spettacolo di Triller,”Ha detto Ziani, “Soprattutto perché è il mio sogno vincere un titolo mondiale negli Stati Uniti. “Sono sorpreso di sentire che Farmer ha tirato fuori la nostra battaglia, ma suppongo che sappia che la sua boxe sta scivolando verso il basso.

"Voglio te, Contadino! Accetta la lotta e sii un vero guerriero. Non scappare da me. Voglio boxare nella capitale della boxe, gli Stati Uniti, per mostrare ai fan americani cosa posso fare. Dicono che sei un tecnico, Ti mostrerò che sono un vero guerriero. L'anello è per veri uomini con l'ambizione di battere i migliori, non box i più deboli, e allora, diamo vero valore e rispettiamo la nostra nobile arte della boxe. "

L'ultima sconfitta di Ziani è stata 4 ½ anni fa a sfidante per il titolo mondiale e compagno francese,Guillaume Frenois (41-1), da un margine sottile come un rasoio, 115-113 tre volte, a Parigi. All'inizio della sua carriera, Ziani ha anche subito una disputa sconfitta di 10 round per decisione (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) in Danimarca all'attuale campione del mondo IBF dei pesi leggeri Richard Commey (18-0) in 2014.

“Ziani è un combattente di tutte le azioni con un ritmo di lavoro enorme,"Ha aggiunto Hyde, con sede in Irlanda. "Sarebbe un incontro allettante tra due mancini di talento con il vincitore che continuerà a lottare per il titolo mondiale WBC".

Il presidente di NoWhere2Hyde Management, Hyde ha gestito numerosi pugili di livello mondiale durante la sua carriera, inclusi campioni del mondo Guillermo Rigondeaux,Youri Kalenga e Simpiwe Vetyeaka.

RENO, Nev. (Maggio 9, 2019) — Boxing’s preeminent action superhero, Oscar Valdez, will make the sixth defense of his WBO featherweight world title Saturday, Giugno 8 against the upset-minded Jason “El Alacrancito” Sanchez at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.

Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Let’s Get It On Promotions and Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, tickets for this world championship event priced at $103, $68 e $43 (including facility fees) are on sale now and can be purchased via Ticketmaster.com or in person at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa gift shop.

“Jason Sanchez is the real ‘Cinderella Man,’” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “He is young, hungry and capable of pulling off a major upset. It should be an exciting battle.”

I’m excited to be back in the ring for the sixth defense of my world title. I know there is a big target on my back because I’m the champion, but nobody is going to take this title away from me,” Valdez said. “This will be my second fight training with Eddy Reynoso. Training with Eddy, I feel the best I’ve ever felt. I felt great in the ring during my first fight with Eddy in my corner. I know that I will look even better this time out. The fans in Reno and watching on ESPN and ESPN Deportes can expect a great showing from me on June 8.”

“I am truly honored and blessed to have an opportunity like this,” Sanchez said. “Coming from Albuquerque, Nuovo Messico, I knew I had to work extra hard to be noticed and to get where I’m at right now. I will be bringing this belt home to Albuquerque, to my family, my supporters, and most of all, my late brother Alan Sanchez. I believe he guided me down this road and that my journey is only beginning.”

Valdez (25-0, 20 KO), Mexico’s first two-time Olympian, has thrilled boxing fans with his go-for-broke style. He won the WBO featherweight title in July 2016 and proved his mettle with a trio of 12-round bloodbaths against Miguel Marriaga, Genesis Servania and Scott Quigg in consecutive bouts. Valdez outlasted an over-the-weight Quigg last March by unanimous decision despite fighting more than half the bout with a severely broken jaw. Following the Quigg bout, Valdez took nearly a year off, returning Feb. 2 in Frisco, Texas, to knock out then-unbeaten Italian challenger Carmine Tommasone in the seventh round.

Il 24enne Sanchez (14-0, 7 KO) enters this championship fight as one of the featherweight division’s fastest-rising young guns. Last October, he stunned then-unbeaten Jean Carlos Rivera via unanimous decision in Panama City, Panama. Following the Rivera victory, Sanchez signed a long-term promotional contract with Top Rank. He impressed in his Top Rank debut Feb. 2 in Frisco, Texas, knocking out Daniel Olea in the second round. Sanchez hopes to become only the fifth men’s boxer from New Mexico to win a world title.

Barrera (22-2, 14 KO), a former Cuban amateur standout, defected to the United States in 2009 and turned pro later that year. The Miami-based bruiser won the first 17 bouts of his career before dropping a decision to pound-for-pound great Andre Ward. A perennial contender, Barrera holds victories over Joe Smith Jr., Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, Karo Murat and former super middleweight world champion Jeff Lacy. He challenged Dmitry Bivol for a light heavyweight world title last year and fought valiantly before being stopped in the 12th e ultimo ciclo.

Sigilli (22-2, 16 KO), a former linebacker for Alabama A&M University, traded in his cleats for trunks and turned pro after a five-fight amateur career. Era 19-0 when he clashed with Edwin Rodriguez in November 2015. In a seesaw battle that included five knockdowns, Rodriguez knocked out Seals in the third round of a Fight of the Year contender. Seals is 3-1 since the Rodriguez battle, the lone loss coming via disqualification after he hit his opponent while he was on the ground. The winner of this can’t-miss action fight will be in line for a potential world title opportunity.

“I am very excited to have signed with Top Rank, a world-class organization with the best light heavyweights in the world,” Barrera said. “I am excited about the future, but the first step is to handle business June 8 and then I can look forward to a shot at a world title. My ultimate goal is Sergey Kovalev. I’ve been chasing him my whole career. Fiduciosamente, we can finally fight this year.”

“This means everything to me. I had a great opportunity with Edwin Rodriguez, but I went into that fight with a torn rotator cuff. I was basically fighting with just my right hand,” Seals said. “Ora, Sono 100 percent healthy. Questo è il mio tempo. Barrera had his time. Mi sento bene. I feel sharp. I feel young. I have sacrificed so much and have had a lot of time to reflect on the decisions I’ve made and all of the hardships I’ve gone through. Nel giugno 8, I’m going to unleash all of my frustration on Barrera. I don’t want to take anything away from Barrera. He’s a world-class fighter, but I am as well.”

Michael Dutchover Dishes on Sparring Sessions with Oscar Valdez & Jessie Magdaleno

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO
ARANCIONE, Calif. (Sette. 21, 2017) – Top junior lightweight prospect Michael Dutchover (5-0, 4 KO) marks his return to the ring questo Venerdì notte contro Carlos Flores (4-5-1, 3 KO) in a featured 6-round bout on the “Nuovo sangue” undercard.

The five-fight show, promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions, takes place at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, California.

Biglietti “Nuovo sangue” sono al prezzo di $40, $60, & $100 and are available for purchase by calling 714-935-0900, or visiting ThompsonBoxing.com.

Dutchover, an accomplished amateur who earned a bronze medal at the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2015 and a runner-up finish at the National Golden Gloves competition a year later, turned professional last year and already possesses a fan friendly style.

Thompson Boxing caught up the with Midland, Tex. native and got his take on relocating to the Los Angeles area, what it was like to spar with two world champions, and his outlook il Venerdì di lotta.

Your training camp was unlike any other in that you sparred against world champions Oscar Valdez and Jessie Magdaleno, as well as blue-chip prospect Michael Conlan. What was it like going against such high-level talent?

Sparring against world champions elevates your game and boosts your confidence tremendously. I held my own the first few sessions with Oscar and Jessie and they called me back for other sessions. These guys expect solid work so I was glad that they brought me back. I’m gaining experience from some of the best so it’s awesome. It was also great sparring with Michael. With those three I was able to see different styles that will help me in my development.

Your opponent Carlos Flores has had an uneven career. How do you get up for a fight where you are the clear favorite?

You can’t think that every fight is going to be easy. If you’re not ready for a fight then anyone can make you look bad. This sport is unforgiving in that way. I’m going to be on my “La” game and it will show Venerdì.”

Earlier this year you made the decision to relocate to the Los Angeles area and leave your hometown of Midland, Tex. What has been the toughest part of this move?

I’m doing what I love to do and that always involves sacrifices. The most difficult part is being away from friends and family and being far from home. I knew moving to Los Angeles was the right choice because if you want to get better, especially in the lower weight classes, this area is the place to be. On any given day you can spar with contenders and world champions so it’s been great for me.

How do you see Friday’s fight going down?

I can predict a solid win for me and my team. I’m going to let my punches go and just be active. I’ll work off the jab to open things up and I’m going to show an improved defense. I’m going to look the best I’ve looked so far. That much I know.

Dutchover is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

All five fights will be livestreamed on TB Presents: New Blood via our Facebook page and ThompsonBoxing.com.

The livestream starts at 8:00 p.m. PT / 11:00 p.m. E with Beto Duran as the blow-by-blow announcer and Steve Kim providing expert color commentary.
